ML4621 Datasheet Data Quantizer

Manufacturer: Micro Linear

Overview: February 1998 ML4621 Data Quantizer GENERAL.

General Description

The ML4621 data quantizer is a low noise, wideband monolithic IC designed specifically for signal recovery applications in fiber-optic receiver systems.

It contains a two stage wideband limiting amplifier which is capable of accepting an input signal as low as 2mV with a 55dB dynamic range.

This high level of sensitivity is achieved by using a DC restoration feedback loop which nulls any offset voltage produced in the limiting amplifier.

Key Features

  • s 50MHz minimum bandwidth for data rates of up to 100MBd Can be powered by either 5V providing TTL level outputs, or -5.2V providing ECL level outputs Low noise design: 25µV RMS over 50MHz noise bandwidth Adjustable link monitor function s s s s s Wide 55dB input dynamic range 10ns minimum input pulse BLOCK.
